Boise Police received a call from a
resident in the neighborhood southeast of Broadway Ave and W. Boise
Ave. Monday, February 28th at approx. 3:43 p.m. The resident
reported to dispatchers a man she didn't know was on top of her
carport. The woman described the man as wearing a white T-shirt,
jeans and was barefoot. As officers responded, another neighbor
called police reporting a man with the same description had just
tried to enter the van parked under the carport. When officers
arrived, the suspect had left. Moments later, the neighbor called
police again, saying he was following the suspect and he was now
walking on Broadway Ave.

An officer located the suspect and began
talking with him. A Washington State ID card identified the man as
Kory Hendershot from Olympia, WA. The officer found the suspect was
still barefoot, but now wearing a sweatshirt, sweater and scarf
that had reported been stolen from the van. As the officer talked
with the suspect, the suspect turned and tried to run. The officer
quickly caught him. The suspect continued to struggle until a
second officer arrived and the two were able to control the suspect
and take him into custody. He was booked into the Ada County Jail
on the above charges.
